Num 16:46-50
Moses said to Aaron,
“Take your censer and put in it fire from the altar, and lay incense on it;
then bring it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them,
for wrath has gone forth from the LORD, the plague has begun!”

Then Aaron took it as Moses had spoken,
and ran into the midst of the assembly,
for behold, the plague had begun among the people.
So he put on the incense and made atonement for the people.

He took his stand between the dead and the living, so that the plague was checked.

But those who died by the plague were 14,700, besides those who died on account of Korah.

Then Aaron returned to Moses at the doorway of the tent of meeting,
for the plague had been checked.

Apparently the judgment of God had already begun!
A plague!

Moses told Aaron to hurry and make atonement for the people.
Quickly!
Run!

Aaron took fire from the altar and placed it in his censer.
He then laid incense on it.
He then ran into the midst of the people.
He interceded and atoned for the people.
He took his stand between the dead and the living…now that is an interesting picture.

The plague was checked.
Still, 14,700 died…in addition to those that had died previously.

The rebellion of Korah.
